The party rcNohed tho Kitchen in time to sse a hungry dog making away with tho piece of meat that was boil lug In the pot, Tho man kiokcd at tho dog with such success as to upset the pot of boiling water on his foot, lust as his wifo throw tho rolling. pin at the same animal, the pin striking her husband just above tho eye, gAncing from this, demolishing the clock and killing the canary bini. The blesse.i baby crawle,i around sn tho hot broth until ii scald@l itself. tho wifo went into mysteries, and the balance of tho dinner burned up on tho stove. while tho ncighbors ruined the parlor car pct by pouring water on tho wife to bring her to consciousness.
 A cporter waited on our esteemed follow -townsman.

 Call the roll of important cities, the richest regions, the grandest scenes, and the most famous health and pleas- ure resorts of the great American west; and they are all, or nearly all, on the lines of the Chicago, Rock Island \ Pacific railway and it's inn mediate connections. It is the great Overland Mail Route. To business men, it offers fast time and q rs,corl of twenty years without serious acci- dent. To pleasure-seekers it offers an endless array of lovely and picturesque summer gathering places of fashion on lake and river sides, amid wild mountain crags, or in the spray of gleaming cataracts and cascades. To invalids it offers direct and luxu- riously appointed highway to all the glorious lettering places of the Amer ican Alps, where snow capped peaks arc ever in sight, and where every breath is full of vigor. where the eye and heart may feast on all that is most sublime and inspiring in scenery, and where Nature, from her hidden labo- ratories, pours forth her wontirous healing floods that need no angels pinion to stir them, as did Bethesda's pool of old, to give them potency for the relief of human woes.
 With millions of money at com mand, and managed by liberal and progressive mon who stand in the front ranks of their profession. the Chicago, Rock Island X Pacific rail- way offers every possible advantage and inducement to the journeying pub- lie, no matter where that public jour- neys from or journeys to. Its track is of steel, and its entire equipment is superb; all its cars of the latest and most improved patterns. It's sleeping cars, dining -cars, chair-cars, parlor- cars and ordinary coaches are models of ingenuity and comfort. Its train service is unsurpassed in any road in the new world. And 1t has never had a serious accident in all its history. What more could any traveller ask?
 If time is short, n week or ten days will suffice to show the traveller glimpses of all the most notable and charming spots have mentioned, on mountain and plain, in valley, on lake and river side, amid peak -wreathing clouds, or prismatic spray of geysers and waterfalls in this vast American Eden-this best region on the globe.
 Let some of our travelling Ameri- cans see what can be seen from the car windows of just one great new world railroad before they rush off to air their ignorance and folly. at tenfold the expense, in far-inierior foreign lands.

Care Of the Finger Nails.

To keep the finger-nails in good or
der requires considerable care and at
tention, and perhaps no addition to the
modern toilet is more useful for its
purpose than the dainty manicure sets
in their pretty boxes. The plain I'M
pretending one which one may pur-
chase for a dollar will do its work quite
as well as the more expensive and
elaborate sets. Before using these ar
ticles the hands should be washed in
tepid water with a fine glycerinated
soap, and before removing the latter
rubbed with q tablespoonful of fine In
dian meal or oatmeal, then rinsed in
tepid water, and after this rubbed with
a little glycerine in soft water. The
hands should be rubbed together until
sthe glycerine and water has nearly
evaporated, then they should be dried
completely and the nails cut and
cleansed with the nail scissors and
cleaner while they are still soft from
the action of the tepid water. Next
push down the skin which is apt to
grow over the nails, and proceed to
polish therl. For this purpose take
your channels polisher, put a pinch of
The nail powder on its face. and rub
each nail till it acquires Il line lnlish

ACUTE
Two Measures for the Prevention Of Thi
Painful Constitutional Disease.

Two Measures for the Prevention Of This
Painful Constitutional Disease.
Acute rheumatism is a constitutional
disease, characterized by fever, inflam-
nation of the larger joints, and a tend
ency to attack the heart and its MEM
branes. Two hundred and thirteen
persons died from this cause in Massa-
chusetts during the year 1885, or about
one to every one hundred and seventy
nine deaths from all causes. But a
large majority of all cases end in re-
covery.
Rheumatism is produced by the ac-
emulation of a poisonous material in
the blood, deposited near the joints.
The disease prevails most largely
in temperate climates, especially
those in which the air is
charged with moisture. and which
are characterized by sudden changes
of temperature. Liability to the dis
ease is increased by those occupations
which involve exposure to sudden
changes of temperature, by living in
damp houses, and especially by sleep
AuS AZ oetA1R WILLS Va Az odAlR oAOOOos
First attacks are rare after fifty years
years of age, and most common from
fifteen to thirty. Each attack increases
the liability to subsequent ones, and
the danger to life also increases with
each attack. More males than females
are affected, probably because of their
great exposure. Disease of the heart
is the almost invariable result of re-
peated attacks, and is the most com
mon cause of death.
The measures of prevention + Of
two classes. The first consists in keep
ing the organs of assimilation and ex-
erection active, the blood in good condi.
ton and the system in general in the
highest state of health possible. The
second consists in avoiding sudden
changes of temperature, especially ex.
posture to cold and wet when heated,
sleeping in damp rooms and other con.
ditions already named as predispos.
